Tongpong's place is beautifully maintained, an oasis in the busy world that is Bangkok. It is close to public transit and very comfortable. It was a great place to explore from, and it was always nice to come back to. Everything worked well, and the space was incredibly comfortable. The shower was great, the bed was great for a nice night's sleep, it was quiet, and it was close to some really great places to eat - I wish I remembered the name of the place, but there was a place near there with perfect northern Thai curry soup that I will dream about. We really loved staying at Tongpong's and I highly recommend it!
